A critical review on the treatment of dye-containing wastewater: Ecotoxicological and health concerns of textile dyes and possible remediation approaches for environmental safety

The synthetic dyes used in the textile industry pollute a large amount of water. This review compares the most recent technologies which are commonly used to remove dye from textile wastewater, with a focus on the advantages and drawbacks of these various approaches.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 Textile dyes do not bind tightly to the fabric and are discharged as effluent into the aquatic environment.
• 2 As a result, the continuous discharge of wastewater from a large number of textile industries without prior treatment has significant negative consequences on the environment and human health.
• 3 Textile dyes contaminate aquatic habitats and have the potential to be toxic to aquatic organisms, which may enter the food chain.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
